Honor the life and legacy of Dr. Steve “Doc” Feller, Thursday, June 25, at a memorial celebration of life on campus. ❤️

Beginning this summer’s Physics Reunion, “Doc Feller’s Fundamental Forces: A Life in Physics” will feature speakers, video tributes, and shared remembrances from colleagues, students, friends and family. It will begin at 2:00 PM in Cherry Auditorium. At the conclusion of the celebration of life, an informal gathering will follow, where attendees can continue sharing stories and connecting over light refreshments.

We hope you will join us in coming together to celebrate a beloved member of the Coe College community who touched so many lives as a mentor, educator and friend.

Alumni and friends hit it out of the park at Coe Night at the Kernels! ⚾🌭💫

We had a great turnout of Kohawks to cheer on the Kernels, who beat the Quad Cities River Bandits 3-2. Fireworks followed the game to celebrate the win.

Thanks for coming out, Kohawks!

Looking back at the highlights of this past year, one thing is clear: the Coe legacy is stronger than ever.

These photos aren’t just memories; they are the direct result of a community that shows up. Throughout the month, we’ll continue to reminisce on the successes we achieved during the 2026 school year. As we close the books, we invite you to help us fund the opening scenes of the next one. Your gift ensures the momentum doesn’t stop here.

As Coe’s fiscal year comes to an end, it is time to celebrate what your support has made possible. When you give to Coe’s Annual Fund, you champion every Kohawk’s potential, strengthen connections that shape futures and serve as the impact that continues to support the Coe College future. 💪

Meet your Alumni Council!

The advisory group of alumni, administered by the Office of Alumni Engagement, met recently to share ideas and hear updates on the college’s present and future. Their visit coincided with graduation weekend, and many Alumni Council members attended events like the Senior Celebration and Commencement to celebrate our new class of alumni. The council’s next meeting takes place during Homecoming in October, and the members are looking forward to celebrating Coe’s 175th anniversary with all the returning alumni. 🎉

Learn more about the Alumni Council and its members here: https://www.coe.edu/alumni/alumni-engagement/alumni-council.

One week ago, we celebrated Coe students who are now alumni. 🎓💐

Thanks to all who attended our Senior Celebration, where we got to hear from President David Hayes '93, the Office of Advancement, the Alumni Council President and the Senior Class Gift Committee Chair; enjoy a delicious meal and drinks; and snap photos with Charlie and friends. It was a great kickoff to graduation weekend, and the Office of Alumni Engagement was honored to celebrate with you this memorable milestone.

To all alumni, including the Class of 2026 - continue to stay engaged! As you heard from our Director of Alumni Engagement Claire Sagers, there are plenty of ways to stay involved with the Coe community after you've left campus. We look forward to seeing you in the near future (it's never too early to mark your calendars for Homecoming, October 1-3). 🙂
